The fourth studio album of Fear of Domination is titled Atlas and it will be released onMarch 11. It is the darkest and heaviest masterpiece FoD has ever done.
The Finnish shock industrial metal -band Fear of Domination will give a totally new definition to "spring break" by unleashing its fourth studio albumAtlasonMarch 11. The vocalist and the lyricist of the bandSaku Solindescribes Atlas as the darkest and the heaviest album the band has ever done.
Solin describes, that Atlas is about the moment, when all the light in the world has faded, and a human being is left to wander with his crushing burden.
"The question is, is the burden self-created, imagined or concrete. We've all had a bit of an emotion-filled year. I think we have efficiently packed primitive rage, desperation and misery here. It wasn't a conscious decision. This is how we felt, and fuck, we did what had to be done."
The string instruments are crunching lower than before and the composer and keyboardist of the bandLasse Raelahtihas created a harmony of chaos and beauty with his synthesizer. Fans were given the first taste of blood, when the band released the music video single El Toro in the autumn. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0u7gIKH4zM)
The lyrics of the album are also more straight and brutal than before.The vocal producerHelena Haaparantawhipped everything out of the singer. Solin reveals from the album, that the rasp and growl vocals can change quickly "freakishly annoyingly poppish" singing.
"We have always loved to create some contrast. Even though the lyrics are about the collapse of the mind and the world, suddenly there can be an opera-kind-of part or then it could be from E-Types disco song."
The drums and the basses were recorded in D-studio, the guitars in the apartment of the lead guitarist and composerJohannes Niemiand the vocals in another studio in city of Kerava. The producersAlex Azzaliand Nicholas Barkermixed and mastered the album in Italy. The cover art is created byTimo Kokko.

"We are looking forward to the gigs! We are able to use some new ideas and of course, to play the new songs. There are a couple of new ones, that I am sure will rock the hell out of the crowd", Solin smiles.
